Darksiders II returns to the European eShop next week
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Darksiders II will return to the European Wii U eShop next week, a listing on Nintendo’s UK website reveals. The game’s download is scheduled for relaunch on February 27. Nordic Games, who now owns the IP rights to Darksiders, will be publishing as expected.
You may remember that Darksiders II was pulled from the European eShop a little less than a year ago following THQ’s closure. Strangely though, the game is still up on the North American eShop to this day – with THQ still listed as publisher.
We’ve reached out to Nordic Games just to get the official word from them about Darksiders II’s renewed arrival in Europe. If we hear anything additional from the company, we’ll update this post.

Forbidden Sanctity planned for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments
Indie developer TreeFall Studios is planning its new project, Forbidden Sanctity, for Wii U. The title is said to be “A gaming experience that has the story, look, and feel of an RPG, with the jumping and puzzle solving mechanics of a 3D platformer.”
While TreeFall has opened a Kickstarter for Forbidden Sanctity, it already appears to be slated for Wii U. The game “will be a reason to own a Wii U, just to play this game with the Gamepad,” the developer says.
